Session description

Heterogeneous data management practices have left the research data ecosystem messy and cluttered, worsening the problem of data reuse. 

To enable effective reuse, this ecosystem needs to be decluttered and organised. Efforts to address this include making data FAIR by promoting standard research data management practices. 

Yet, while these efforts have received significant support, they have also encountered some resistance. Typically, reasons for such resistance pertain to the resource-intensive nature of data management. 

In this special Open Access Week edition of the Research Data Insider, Anamika Chatterjee (PhD) will explore another reason for such resistance: scientists hold differing definitions of ‘purity’ and ‘pollution’.
